The RS was ordered Jan 7, delivered Nov 28. The Z06 was a lucky find "in transit" to my local dealer last week. All their other C7 cars were automatics. This car was a "strictly business" Z06 with all the performance options and no luxury options. Even with the Z07 package and running in "truck mode", it is softer riding than the RS.

Lucky guy, that's a beautiful pair of cars you've got. Of course I'm partial to the darker blue one.

Nice cars! My sister just traded her 2013 WRX hatchback for a new RS and she loves it. I drove it too and it's a pretty fun car. I'll post a picture later.

I had an RS on order. Car arrived and I took it for a brief test drive. Not a fan of the seating position or the rough ride. Super fun car but with our **** poor roads I just could not see myself driving it. Dealership was happy I passed because I negotiated MSRP and the next guy paid a $5K dealer markup for it.

Love that Z06 and your color choices. Enjoy!

My brother got an RS a couple months ago. Super cool car, but yea...suspension will remind you to hit the gym a little more and work on your pecs. Can't imagine being a busty woman riding in one. Bouncy.

I had an ST and my C7 at the same time, found I was always picking the C7 to drive and the gas mileage wasn't much better (or worse on the highway) in the ST. Still though it was a fun car. DSC has a controller for the RS suspension, wonder if it has helped out with the rough ride. Pretty much everything I read about the RS panned the ride quality.
